There are 3 sections from west to east: 1. From overlook to parking lot (west of Battle Creek). 2. from Battle Creek to Battle Creek Road 3.Battle Creek Road to eastern boundary.

1. overlook to parking lot: there are two advanced options – a in/out spur at the top of paved segment, and a trail that goes across the ridge top to emerge 2/3 of the way up the paved trail along battle creek.

2. Battle Cree to Battle Creek Road: there are 3 routes up from Battle Creek. One is quite technical and is somewhat north. The other is to go up the Berm run. The last is to take Point Douglas road up a few hundred yards to a trail that climbs the bluff.

3. There are two places to cross from section 2 to 3 over S Battle Creek Road.We usually do the northern one. Going down to the Rec Center is a good intermediate descent/climb. At the SouthEast section is a segment sometimes called the Goat Path. It’s an advanced descent.

Brickyard – Lilydale park

Trail is sometimes closed, if closed hill climbs can be done on the nearby road ascent to the High Street bridge (downriver) or on the ascent from the Yacht Club (upriver)

44°55’28.3″N 93°06’40.1″W: The driveway to the hill from the parking lot may be flooded. Instead, there is a goat path just to the southeast of the parking lot off of the road next to a corner sign; take that path south to the hill. The goat path will join with the gravel path beyond the flooded section.

River Bottoms (Adventurous)

Strava route: https://www.strava.com/routes/5801970. There are better options for the start of this route. Before you get to the rocks there’s an unmarked steep trail ascent. Take that through a generally fun hilly segment that joins the main trail. It shows up as a trail on the route.
